For me $1200 better be a full rifle with scope, pod and some ammo
 Hope it works great for you. Looks nice as hell that's for sure.
Eta. Why did it hot link that? |

Then you probably should be sitting down when he tells us about his scope and rings!

I bought the element to avoid having the tube.
It's fantastic! Can't say enough good things about it. |

If I had the money for it, and a Remington 700, I'd fo on that.
Be sure to give an AAR in a couple months when you get it! |

I get that it might be the kitty's titties,
but for that kind of cash they look so... uh... unrefined. Congrats on the purchase nonetheless

I feel your pain OP. I spent a stupid amount of money on a stock/chassis also. I can't say it was worth every penny, but it's pretty close. It's like a whole new rifle, and my long(er) range accuracy and groups shrunk considerably. More than I had expected.
Enjoy.  |

Great gun, great stock, but still not a huge fan. As soon as I ditch my AK, I'm ordering a foliage green "hunting" Eliseo chassis  they're just smexy IMO but I'm not a fan of the XLR though..

I've been tossing back and forth between this and a the KRG HABU. The Habu is over the double price, but it is sexy as hell. However, due to the price I will probably end up with the XLR and a Carbon fiber barrel from Proof on my next 6.5mm Creedmoore build.

There are several companies making similar chassis, why did you settle on that one?

I had it inlet for a Badger M5 DBM and it was bedded for that action. I had over $1000 in it and I had to wait 6 months for the stock. It weighed 2 pounds more than the XLR and wasn't anywhere near as ergonomic as the XLR is supposed to be. I like the McM A-series stuff, but there are more modern options now that have more features built into them. |

I love mine, although I will admit I don't use the folding feature very much. In fact, I would probably have been fine with a non-folder. The AICS fits me perfect, though, but I do like the XLR and similar chassis systems. |

I have one on my savage that I shot in the PRS my first year. Its a good chassis. Still some things I miss about it. I really miss the long forearm and the way it allowed me to shoot barricades. Been thinking about getting a new one to replace the McMillon A5 on my current match rifle.
Mine was the first lefty savage that he ever made. Might still be the only one. eta: there is an adjustable butt pad that they sell at cabellas that will replace the one that comes with it. I hated that soft foam rubber one that it came with. |

I can't speak to the AICS, but I like the XLR that I have, specifically because it is a very stout design, and was adjustable enough to make me (6', 230 lbs) very comfortable on it. It is most certainly more stout than a standard AR assembly, and I don't see me banging around with my bolt gun more roughly than I do my ARs, but I'm not parachuting into Baghdad anytime soon, either. |

I want one pretty bad but just cannot justify the cost over my bedded B&C medalist. 250$+ some epoxy, foam, duct tape and I have a perfectly fitted nail driver. My rifle doesn't look very tacticool though
 Now If I had NV or a need for a monopod than maybe I could talk myself into one. I'm a cheap bastard
